Also, personally I found it kind of rude when I typed out my "Member Intro" and was ridiculed for not using perfect grammar. I'd think most people would be nice and say welcome or something along those lines, instead of telling me my grammar sucks.

It's kind of a pain to have to go back and re-read everything over and over again to make sure it's all perfect. I'll admit I'm not the greatest typer, but I don't think it's necessary to enforce it so harshly, everyone makes mistakes. And not everyone’s blessed with perfect typing.
You are 17 years old buddy, its time to learn proper english. The way you say things on a forum represent you as a person. If you dont want to take the time to obey the rules of the english language then we don't want to take the time to help you in any way. There is nothing more annoying then trying to decifer the code that is someones typing skill. Usually the members that continually type like that and don't make coherant sentences either leave because everyone keeps making fun of the persons posts, or they get banned because AJ decided that he wanted to be the spelling bee loser again.
